At #Michaela, we embrace three key values that permeate our decision-making:
1. Personal responsibility
2. Duty
3. Authority
How do these values help our pupils?
1/
When we are not happy with outcomes in our life, it’s natural & easy to blame our circumstances. But we constantly remind pupils that there are some things we can control & other things we cannot. 2/
If pupils broaden their sense of ‘self’ to include their class, year group, school community & country, they feel they belong. Better this than a gang. Pupils feel a sense of obligation to act in the interests of the groups to which they belong. 6/
Someone is always in charge. If the teacher doesn’t take charge of the classroom, the loudest/naughtiest/most influential pupil will. Authority is never absent. 10/
